Telepresence

Description

• (HD) Telepresence between FIXME and PTL

Current issues

• Accelerated video decoding and display on the Raspi
• PTL outgoing bandwidth
• Build a wooden window-like frame with curtains

Hardware

• 2 (4?) Raspberry PI
• 2 Camera modules
• Custom printed box

Video Streaming

/etc/rc.local:

su pi -c "raspivid -t 86400000 -w 1080 -h 720 -fps 30 -b 256000 -n -o - | cvlc -vvv stream:///dev/stdin --sout '#rtp{sdp=rtsp://:5000/}' :demux=h264" &

Client not yet working on the Raspi...

omxplayer rtsp://localhost:5000

However, this works quite well on a regular PC (video decoding done in software):

vlc rtsp://1.2.3.4:5000/
